Scheduling an organic integration is like trying to Christmas-wrap a puppy.
However, it’s important to keep in mind the temporary nature of construction sites.Once they’ve gone, we’ve lost the opportunity to use construction technology to gather that simple, valuable information that can tell us what’s really happening.
It’s this data that enables us to do better designs, and better implement modules etc.Of course, much of what we need to do is perfectly achievable with existing technology, but we can also be confident that as tech continues its rapid advancement, what we’re using a year from now will be significantly better than what we’re using today..The benefits of IoT in construction.
The temporary nature of construction sites also impacts the role of IoT technology onsite.In fact, much of the information we’re able to take from the process, and many of the details about how things are being put together, has already disappeared by the time the concrete has set and we’ve got the finishes on the walls.
By that point, we’ve often begun discussing other, internal elements, such as technology related to the temperature of the building..
Ultimately, this means that many important uses for construction technology are being missed.“You've got to think about the long game,” Marks says, “and whether or not you're going to exist on this planet.”.
She’s also aware that there’s a monetary opportunity here, on top of the current $14 trillion industry ecosystem.The projection is that the industry will make a 45% shift to industrialised construction.
Companies that do this well will increase their value, but changes will be necessary.For a start, technology spending will double.. We’ll also need to have a complete understanding of how the traditional and industrialised aspects of a building will interact with each other, she says.. “You're talking about interstitial spaces, adjacencies, attachments, components.
